        <p class="lead">The ASP.NET Identity system is designed to replace the previous ASP.NET Membership and Simple Membership systems. 
               It includes profile support, OAuth integration, works with OWIN, and is included with the ASP.NET templates shipped with Visual Studio 2013.</p>

            <p>
                ASP.NET Identity is the new membership system for building ASP.NET web applications. ASP.NET Identity allows you to add 
                login features to your application and makes it easy to customize data about the logged in user.

            <p>
                ASP.NET Identity is yet another identity management framework from Microsoft (recall that we also had two prior frameworks from Microsoft: Membership and SimpleMembership). 
                Let’s take a look at the good and the bad aspects of this new framework.

            <p>
                The assumption that users will log in by entering a user name and password that they have registered in your own application is no longer valid. 
                The web has become more social. Users are interacting with each other in real time through social channels such as Facebook, Twitter, and other 
                social web sites. Developers want users to be able to log in with their social identities so that they can have a rich experience on their web sites. 
                A modern membership system must enable redirection-based log-ins to authentication providers such as Facebook, Twitter, and others.
